Are you real?
Most die-hard travel photographers make a beeline for far-flung, exotic and cuturally diverse locations where nobody else would dare venture. So do I head for Burma? No, not a good idea, a little bit unstable. Kabul? Hmmm, perhaps not. No lets head for Brussels and as it so happened I did bump into a Burmese political prisoner whilst there, well kind of….
Brussels has a number of famous features such as the Atonium, Grand Place, Manneken Pis, Chocolate, Waffles, ok the last two aren’t places as such but they do count! I certainly photographed many of these but it is also worth your while taking a look at the not so obvious things too…
As the gallery grows, I thought I should pick out some of my favourite shots. Well the ones that I really enjoyed taking, as I love the places that I visited at the time. We have a mixture here that spans all the way from Farnborough to the Cinquentenaire in Brussels and a little bit of Capri, Italy.

UPDATE - Bugger broken this post! I shall at some point re-upload the images that were attached to it!
When I told a good friend of mine that my wife and I were going for a long weekend in Brussels, he told me how much he disliked the place and that it was “horrid”. I was a little bit taken aback by this and spent a week or so worrying about it after I booked the trip!
Great Bustards once roamed the UK until persecution rendered them extinct. Through an extensive reintroduction programme, they are once again back in Wessex!
